Rivermouth: Live at The Bearded Lady, West End, 8 February 2020 Rivermouth are a four-piece Brisbane band incorporating elements of hip-hop, jazz and funk. Formed in 2011, they are made up of MC Jonathan Sri, keyboard player Geoff Wong, bassist Caroline Townsend and drummer Andrew Carter. With a background in spoken-word poetry, Sri raps lyrics that are mostly political in nature over Townsend's fretless bass grooves and Wong's tinkling piano. Songs incorporate themes such as colonialism, capitalism, gentrification and prejudice. In 2016 Sri was elected to the Brisbane City Council, representing the inner-city Gabba Ward, and was subsequently re-elected in 2020. Rivermouth released their first EP, "Etchings and Scratchings", in 2013, and their album "Subtropical Metropolis?" in 2021, with a few singles in between. Includes an interview with Jonathan Sri. Recorded by Scott Mercer Mixed by Jonathan Virgona Show production, engineering and host: Scott Mercer Originally aired via Zed Digital, 7-8pm, Sunday November, 2021
The Mouldy Lovers: Live at The Bearded Lady, West End, 8 February 2020 The Mouldy Lovers began as a small folk project in Brisbane in 2010 when Louis Whelan and Jade Channells began making music together in high school. Matt Hsu was the next to join a few months later, gradually followed by many, many others as the group exploded into a large collective centred around the inner-city suburb of West End. With a standard backline of drums, bass and guitar, The Mouldies arsenal also includes a horn section, singers, rappers and a piano accordian, playing material inspired by Romani, Klezmer, reggae, ska and punk music. Band members have come and gone over the years, with the roster including Jen Horn, Henri Paternoster, Nicholas Downing, Caroline Townsend, Gavin Cook, Jessica McFayden, Jonathan Sri, Kat Bermingham and Steph McIntyre. Mouldies shows are a colossal and joyous force to be reckoned with. They quickly became popular as a live act around Brisbane, and their renown eventually led to shows at festivals across Australia. The band managed to squeeze into the studio several times earlier on in their career, with the early EPs "Unhinged Hijinks" and "Candy Bling Shoes String" in 2010 and "Kakistocracy" in 2011. Full-length albums "Yonder Ruckus" and "Mondegreen" followed in 2013 and 2015, respectively. The set you'll be hearing on this episode was recorded on the occasion of the band's ten-year anniversary. It was a sold-out affair that raised money for WIRES and the First Nations Communities Fire Relief Fund in the wake of recent bushfires. The Mouldy Lovers are now on hiatus, though despite what they say during this set, they have performed since, at the Tablelands Folk Festival in October 2020. Many members of the band remain busy with other projects, including Rivermouth, Matt Hsu's Obscure Orchestra, loulou and Old Semeil.

Political protest is a form of free speech and is seen as fundamental to democracy. In a time of COVID, however, large public gatherings are considered potentially hazardous. And governments have banned certain forms of protest. Is the right to protest being undermined?
